Lcflooring New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 03/31/2024 3:27 pm I know in 1836 the half dollar was changed to smaller size and reed edge instead of lettering edge to use the new hydraulic press so that Capped Bust half dollar and forward after 1836 was all hydraulic. Also in my opinion that's why prior to 1837 so many die cracks, light pressing and I think harder to grade. Some that people say are worn was do to light press. Anytime people muscles are in total control you will not get the same quality of coin from day to day minute to minute Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 03/31/2024 6:11 pm I believe screw presses were continued to be used, well after 1836, for producing proof coinage. Up to about 1890 or so. Report this Post to the Staff
